This can be used to find all boundaries that are within or overlap a bounding box. You have the ability to choose whether to retrieve all boundaries that intersect your supplied bounding box or only those that fall entirely inside of your bounding box. diff --git a/doc/measures_functions.md b/doc/measures_functions.md index 6eb0a9c..a07ad93 100644 --- a/doc/measures_functions.md +++ b/doc/measures_functions.md @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ There are hundreds of measures and the list is growing with each release.
